Member of:

Edenite Root Name Group > Calcium Amphibole Subgroup > w(OH,F,Cl)-dominant Amphibole Group > Amphibole Supergroup

Name:

Fluoredenite was originally known as a synthetic compound and reported as early as 1955 by J. A. Kohn and J. E. Comeforo. In 1970, Dr. Bob Coffee, chemist at Kodak, chemically analysed and published on one an early discovery of non-synthetic fluoredenite. Named fluoro-edenite in 2001 by A. Gianfagna and R. Oberti following IMA rules in allusion to its composition, with dominant fluorine and its relationship to edenite.

Optical Data of Fluoro-edeniteHide

Type:

Biaxial (-)

RI values:

n_α = 1.6058(5) n_β = 1.6170(5) n_γ = 1.6245(5)

2V:

Calculated: 78°

Max. Birefringence:

δ = 0.019
Based on recorded range of RI values above.

Interference Colours:
The colours simulate birefringence patterns seen in thin section under crossed polars. They do not take into account mineral colouration or opacity.

Michel-Levy Bar The default colours simulate the birefringence range for a 30 µm thin-section thickness. Adjust the slider to simulate a different thickness.

Grain Simulation You can rotate the grain simulation to show how this range might look as you rotated a sample under crossed polars. Each grain retains its interference colour (retardation) while its brightness falls to black at extinction and reaches a maximum between extinction positions.

Thickness: 30 µm Order divisions

Rotation:

Surface Relief:

High (positive)
Relative to Canada balsam mounting medium (n ≈ 1.537).

This shows the grain boundary and Becke line effect under plane-polarised light, based on the contrast between this mineral's average refractive index and the mounting medium. It does not take into account mineral colouration.

Focus:

In focus

Interference Figure:

This shows the idealized biaxial acute bisectrix (Bxa) interference figure - the conoscopic view for a grain cut perpendicular to the acute bisectrix, using this mineral's 2V. The two small white dots mark the melatopes - the points where the two optic axes emerge - and are shown only when they fall within the field of view. The coloured bands are isochromatics, and the dark bands are isogyres.

Rotate the stage: at 0°/90° the isogyres form a cross through the melatopes; at 45° they pull apart into curved hyperbolas. That splitting on rotation - absent in a uniaxial figure - is the standard diagnostic test for telling biaxial minerals from uniaxial ones. If 2V is large, the melatopes may fall outside the field of view, as they often do at the microscope too.

Thickness: 30 µm

Stage rotation: 0°

Dispersion:

r < v

Optical Extinction:

Y ≡ β ⊥ (010), γ ⊥ Z = 26°.

Pleochroism:

Type Occurrence of Fluoro-edeniteHide

Type Locality:

ⓘ Mt Calvario, Biancavilla, Metropolitan City of Catania, Sicily, Italy

General Appearance of Type Material:

Prismatic and acicular crystals, often occurring as parallel bundles. The largest prismatic crystals (≥2 mm) are embedded in the matrix, whereas smaller acicular crystals line cavities where they are often perched on bright lamellar hematite and commonly show fibrous and asbestiform terminations.

Place of Conservation of Type Material:

Museo di Mineralogia, Dipartimento di Scienze della Terra, Università degli Studi di Roma “La Sapienza”, Italy, number 30006/1.

Geological Setting of Type Material:

In autoclasts of altered benmoreitic lavas.

Associated Minerals at Type Locality:

Clinopyroxene Subgroup	Fluorapatite	Hematite	Ilmenite	K Feldspar
Orthopyroxene Subgroup	Plagioclase	Quartz

Other InformationHide

IR Spectrum:

The IR spectrum does not show any absorption band in the OH-stretching region (3800–3600 cm–1). In the 1300–450 cm–1 range, significant absorption bands occur at 1066, 991, 791, 738, 667, 517, and 475 cm–1.

Health Risks:

This mineral is known to be a respirable carcinogen, similar to asbestos and many other amphiboles, and exposure to very dusty air or long-term exposure to low level airborne dusts containing fine fibres of fluoro-edenite and related amphiboles has been found to cause a high risk of serious lung disease including mesothelioma and lung cancer. Care should be taken working with samples that contain fibrous forms of this mineral, to avoid creating or inhaling dusts. Non-fibrous forms, such as larger crystals or rock samples containing solid grains, are safer to handle, but can still produce potentially carcinogenic respirable fibre when crushed. Appropriate dust masks should be worn if working in areas which have dusts likely to be rich in this mineral. Storage and careful handling of specimens has little or no risk.
